Abstract |
This paper describes a simple and straightforward method to determine phase converter reactances for the monocyclic start induction motor which have two different phase converters. In order to determine two reactances, two kinds of simultaneous equations with two unknown reactances at a specified speed are set up by the condition of balance operation. From these equation, these unknown reactances can be solved directly using the application software without any algebraic calculation. The applicability of this method is investigated by comparing with the known method by using the computed results at the starting and rated speed, and the results show good agreement each other. Using these results, the performance characteristics of this motor are computed and compared with three phase balance operation of induction motor. |
